Dear Editor: I’d like to thank the Tuscaloosa and Northport city councils for recent efforts to restrict the number of payday/title loan businesses.

Dear Editor: I’d like to thank the Tuscaloosa and Northport city councils for recent efforts to restrict the number of payday/title loan businesses. These predatory businesses are far more numerous here than in other states in the Southern U.S. where I’ve lived. Our country is, of course, based on free enterprise, but it should be obvious to anyone that these operations steal from the most indigent and contribute nothing to enhancing neighborhoods.
